No problem Ty,
I didn't realize I wrote a small novel, but hope the info helps.
I know what you mean about those old sets we remember from our childhood. When I was about 6 I remember mom had an old radio phono in the bottom of the closet that she would turn on when it was my bedtime. When she left the room, I'd sneak up on the set, and peer into the rear where the tubes filaments would be glowing. I even remember the smell that thing would give off.
Later in the night, I'd wake up and hear that the station had gone off the air and only far away stations would be trying to come in. That would lull me back to sleep.
Perhaps it is that memory that made me interested in radios.
With the guys here helping, I am sure you will be able to get your set going again.
Take care,
Gary.
